History shows that British people were one of the more radical racists until they lost their empire. Their policy led to the deaths of millions of Chinese and Indians as well as many aborigenes in North America, Australia and New Zealand. The concentration camps were invented in Britain. I don't think that British people would welcome refugees from the Middle East if one of the main reasons why they decided to leave EU was the wish to close country for labour immigrants from Europe.

Britain has been accepting millions of non-white immigrants from commonwealth countries since the 50's. All large portion of ethnic indians, Africans, Pakistanis, Jamacians and others supported leaving the EU in favour of more opportunities for immigrants coming from the commonwealth.There Is virtually no country in the EU except in eastern Europe that hasn't an awful history of war, colony and or genocide. I challenge you to find one.

They accepted them just because those people lived in British colonies and then decided to move to Britain when those colonies gained independence. Those Middle Eastern refugees have never lived in British Empire and didn't gain the education in British like schools. There are problems occurring even with Polish working in the UK. No problems. Switzerland. Norway. Finland, Denmark (it still keeps Greenland but it's policy didn't lead to deaths of millions of people from drugs, starvation and genocide). Luxembourg. Lichtenstein. Iceland. Ireland. Is it enough?

Lichtenstein is part of Europe. Luxembourg was once part of the French and dutch empires. Ireland was once part of great Britain and a quarter of it still is, the Irish made up a large part of British empire forces. Iceland was built by Scandanavians using captured gaelic slaves and women they kidnapped.

Of course all of them are the parts of Europe. You asked me which EU countries haven't an awful of colonization and genocides which UK had and I wrote their names. I don't care about these countries past when they were not independent. These countries (like Belgium, Ireland, Lichtenstein etc.) long enough in order not to mix them with their conquerors. In your logic Indians are also responsible for terrible famines and led to the deaths of more than one million people during 19th century due to mistakes of British colonial administration just because at that time India was a part of British Empire?Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that these countries are saint, though Switzerland really looks so. But the number of people which died because of policy of British Empire is comparable with the number of people killed by Germans during WWII. Sorry if you live in the UK and love it. But the ancestors of modern Englishmen were among worst criminals in the history of humanity.

The Belgians have as much blood on their hands as any. India was separate nations that fought for the British to bring down rival nations so yes they are partly responsible. Switzerland provided mercenary armies for various wars. The British empire doesn't exist so by your logic English men have no guilt also most English people are decended from anglo saxons so really the whole British empire thing is on the English nobles who are technically French, scandanavian and from various other Europeans who came to England in 1066 and stole England, Ireland and Wales from the native people's and turned them into serfs importing feudalism from Europe.

I don't say that every Brithish person was responsible for those crimes, no. But the country which commited them was called British Empire. The ethbic background of English nobles is not important the most important fact is their nationality and the country which tesources they used for killing and robbing other nations. Though in order to be objective I don't deny that British people left in their colonies a good infrastructure.
